The last episode is about to debut in Japan in less than 9 hours..kinda sad....while it was true that the series tended to be a bit overracted, I believe that it was needed for the show because if it wasn't for that, then it woulda been a boring series. Other than that, this was one of the BEST Jdoramas i have ever seen. I am totally convinced that this was based on a true story and while some parts of this drama was made up, the audience can get a rough sketch of what actually happened. I'll be really sad once this is over because it will be hard to find another jdorama that will be as good as this one.
